How to treat elevated thyroid stimulating hormone?

The influence of thyroid stimulating hormone on women is more obvious, because this hormone has a great impact on pregnant women. The fetus will be affected by this substance and develop slowly. Therefore, regular observation of thyroid stimulating hormone levels is a very necessary task during pregnancy. Once the thyroid stimulating hormone level is high, how should it be treated?

Dietary considerations for high thyroid stimulating hormone:

1. High calorie: It depends on the clinical treatment needs and the patient's eating habits. Generally, it is 50% to 70% higher than normal. Each person can be supplied with 3000 to 3500 Kcal of calories per day.

2. High protein: Generally, each person needs 1.5 to 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day, but generally you can't eat too much, otherwise it will be detrimental to wound recovery. Therefore, an appropriate amount of protein can promote the normal secretion of thyroid-stimulating hormone.

3. High vitamin: mainly supplements B vitamins and vitamin C, which are also substances that help promote the normal secretion of thyroid-stimulating hormone.

4. Appropriate amount of minerals: mainly potassium, magnesium, calcium, etc.

5. Avoid iodine: Iodine is an important element for the synthesis of thyroid hormone. Within a certain limit, the amount of thyroid hormone synthesis increases with the increase of iodine dosage. If the dosage exceeds the limit, the synthesis and release of thyroid hormone will be temporarily inhibited, so that the symptoms will be relieved quickly, but this inhibition is temporary.

If high-iodine foods or medications are taken for a long time, the thyroid gland will "adapt" to the "inhibitory" effect of iodine, the synthesis of thyroid hormone will be accelerated again, the accumulation of thyroid hormone in the thyroid gland will increase day by day, and a large amount of accumulated thyroid hormone will be released into the blood, causing recurrence or aggravation of hyperthyroidism.
